As you linger on the mountain pass to admire the rugged reflection of Beinn an Lochaint in the waters of Loch Resti, spare a thought for the weary sheep drovers who used to pause here for breath after the long steep climb from Loch Fyne. "Rest and Be Thankful2" is the name of this spot, a title coined by the soldiers who built the first road here 250 years ago. Since then its wild beauty has thrilled generations of crofters and passing travelers. And now you.

Of course your journey through Scotland may not take you this way, but wherever you go you're in for a treat. You might linger in the Borders to explore the dignified ruins of once-powerful abbeys or fish for plump salmon in the Tweed. Or follow in the footsteps of Rob Roy and Walter Scott through the Trossachs to soak "the scenery of a fairy dream", as Scott described it. Perhaps you'll potter around colourful fishing villages in the Kingdom of Fife and tee off on the legendary Old Course in St Andrews. Or venture into Speyside to tickle your tastebuds on the malt whisky trail.

If it's drama you're after, you'll head for the Highlands, a vast swathe of untamed wilderness fringed by mile upon mile of fretted coastline dotted with islands. Land and sea collide to create spectacular perspectives, which change with the seasons and within the space of a day.

The role of the manager as merely an overseer of workers is an artifact of the Industrial Age paradigm, no longer appropriate to the Knowledge Age. Increasingly, middle managers' heads are on the chopping blocks of budget-tightening corporations, and those who fail to transform. themselves into "player/coaches" will become obsolete, suggests Thomas H. Davenport, director of Accenture Institute for Strategic Change.

"There is still an important role, albeit a different one, for management in the future," Davenport writes in The Future of Leadership. "The single most important factor driving the change in what management entails is the rise and prevalence of knowledge work. "

In advanced economies, knowledge workers now make up more than 50% of workers-or more, depending on how you define "knowledge worker". Davenport reports, "I know of a CEO of a large pizza chain who argues that every worker in the organization is a knowledge worker, and unless they all use knowledge to manage costs, serve customers well, and maintain high quality standards, the organization will not succeed. However, if pizza makers are knowledge workers, who isn't?"

Scientific methodology is based on generating hypotheses and testing them to see if they make sense; in laboratories throughout the world, researchers spend at least as much time trying to disprove a theory as they do trying to prove it. Eventually, those ideas that don't prove false are accepted. But fingerprinting was developed by the police, not by scientists, and it has never been subjected to rigorous analysis—you cannot go to Harvard, Berkeley, or Oxford and talk to the scholar working on fingerprint research. Yet by the early twentieth century, fingerprinting had become so widely accepted in American courts that further research no longer seemed necessary, and none of any significance has been completed.

The discussion of fingerprinting is only the most visible element in a much larger debate about how forensic science fits into the legal system. For years, any sophisticated attorney was certain to call upon expert witnesses to assert whatever might help his case. And studies have shown that juries are in fact susceptible to the influence of such experts. Until recently, though, there were no guidelines for qualification; nearly anybody could be called an expert, which meant that, unlike other witnesses, the expert could present his "opinion" almost as if it were fact.

What about the future? I am convinced that the future will be even more exciting than the past. As I told my grandson, I very much envy him and I would like to be his age and have the opportunity to become again a scientist, starting in another field, and to have a chance to push further the frontiers of knowledge. I urge many of you, who read these lines, to do the same. Science is a very exciting experience as well as a worthwhile like goal, because only those undertakings that challenge us to develop our minds and energies to attempt the unattainable are worthy of us.

If I had been given the chance to live another life as a scientist in the 21st century. I would study the brain and investigate the mechanism of consciousness, reasoning, logic, and memory, and I would try to understand how this marvelous machine, that evolution has developed, is capable of analyzing itself and of understanding the world and reality. This is the ultimate challenge, which I dare you to devote your life to, and to solve for the glory and benefit of mankind.

The most precious message I want to convey to the Young is that your lives offer you an opportunity to leave a mark in history for the benefit of mankind. No project should be impossible to accomplish if one is properly determined to succeed and not to spare one's energy and resources.

What is globalization? The short answer is that globalization is the integration of everything with everything else. A more complete definition is that globalization is the integration of markets, finance, and technology in a way that shrinks the world from a size medium to a size small. Globalization enables each of us. wherever we live, to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper, and cheaper than ever before and at the same time allows the world to reach into each of us farther, faster, deeper, and cheaper than ever before.

I believe this process is almost entirely driven by technology. There's a concept in strategic theory, stating that capabilities create intentions. In other words, if you give people B-52s, they will find ways to use them. This concept is quite useful when thinking about globalization, too. If I have a cell phone that can call around the world at zero marginal cost to 180 different countries, I will indeed call around the world to 180 different countries. If I have Internet access and can do business online, a business in which my suppliers, customers, and competitors are all global, then I will be global, too. And I will be global whether there is a World Trade Organization agreement or not.

Did these prejudices prevail only among the meatiest and lowest of the people, perhaps they might be excused, as they have few, if any, opportunities of correcting them by reading, travelling, or conversing with foreigners; but the misfortune is that they infect the minds and influence the conduct, even of our gentlemen; of those, I mean, Who have every title to this appellation but an exemption from prejudice, which however, in my opinion, ought to be regarded as the characteristical mark of a gentleman; for let a man's birth be ever so high, his station ever so exalted, or his fortune ever so large, yet if he is not free from national and other prejudices, I should make bold to tell him that he had a low and vulgar mind, and had no just claim to the character of a gentleman. And in fact, you will always find that those are most apt to boast of national merit, who have little or no merit of their own to depend on.
